EU likely to require more concessions from Google

The European Commission is likely to require more concessions from Google in an ongoing antitrust probe, the European Union?s Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said.

The Commission is now analyzing proposals that Google submitted in April to alleviate its concerns, Almunia said Tuesday during a session of the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.

Google rivals had complained to the Commission that they were unfairly penalized by Google?s search algorithm, which places their services lower in search results while Google promotes its own. Google?s proposals to resolve these concerns were submitted to all the complainants and stakeholders last month.

This so-called market test should have been concluded on Monday, but at the request of some participants Almunia said he decided to extend the review period by one month.
